Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Jaylen Warren

Sunday, December 1, 4:46 PM

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon bounced back from a season-worst day last week by going for 101 yards on 20 carries and also catching four passes for 18 yards in a 23-20 victory against Jacksonville on Sunday. The veteran back was efficient on the ground after a slow start, and continued being a major asset as a runner who catches passes and gets red zone work. His six targets were second on the team, and his seven-yard touchdown marked the seventh time in eight weeks that he found the end zone. Mixon should continue being a fantasy lineup staple after the Texans take their bye in Week 14.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren turned three carries into nine yards and gained 55 yards on four receptions in a Week 13 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Warren, who out-snapped and outproduced Najee Harris last week, took a backseat on Sunday but still was effective as a weapon in the passing game. He has looked explosive when given opportunities, but with Cordarelle Patterson mixing in for six touches this week, it's difficult to predict what Pittsburgh's backfield rotation will look like moving forward. Warren is worth rostering in most formats but should only be viewed as a flex option in PPR leagues next week against the Cleveland Browns.
